Maternity sessions

Maternity and Newborn sessions document a once-in-a-lifetime moment! As a soon-to-be mum, you should celebrate your amazing body and what it has achieved. These sessions will create sentimental memories for you and show the beginning of your journey into motherhood. Maternity sessions are particularly empowering and are some of my favourite sessions to photograph. 

I recommend planning your maternity session between 30-34 weeks. All pregnancies are different but this is probably the best time as you won’t feel too uncomfortable but your bump will be prominent enough.

Don’t worry if you’ve never done anything like this before because that’s exactly what I am here for! These sessions are designed for you to sit back, relax and let me do the work! The one piece of advice to give you is to trust your photographer! I know exactly what I am doing and you’re in good hands. If you would like to add a maternity session to your newborn booking, you can do so for an extra £100. Scroll down below to see my session packages.

Once you have given birth and are starting to settle into your new life as parents, I recommend coming to visit me before your baby is two weeks old. After two weeks, they will start to stretch and become wriggly as they are discovering their body, which means settling them into a comfortable position can take a little longer.

I will pose and position your baby to achieve those cute snuggly shots, whilst also making sure they are comfortable and happy. I have a mixture of different blankets and swaddles to choose from, as well as different outfits and accessories. My style is still very documentary/lifestyle inspired, so I like to go as natural as possible and not put your baby in any positions where they feel uncomfortable or unsettled.

I take pride in my photography on its ability to tell your story. No two families are the same, everyone likes different styles, colours, compositions etc. I like to get to know my clients beforehand to ensure I can bring your visions to life. I will send you a questionnaire to fill out before your session. 

I offer newborn photoshoots both at home and in the studio. Take a look at both styles on this page and see which one you are more drawn to. My at-home newborn sessions are a lot more natural whereas the studio is a little more posed. 

“We have had a fantastic experience with Mi, from the first to the last message. On the day Mi explained first what she was going to do, took out input (we had no idea) and showed us different coloured fabric for our ideas. Mi took her time and was patient with our two week old baby, she communicated to us throughout the whole session. Mi allowed us to bring some items or clothing we would like from home to add to the images. I would highly recommend anyone to use Admire Studios as our experience was out of this world.”

frequently asked questions

Please do not worry about this at all. I am trained to work with newborns and know quite a few tricks to help with this! I also understand that often babies just need some time. You can take as long as you need and feed baby as much as you like too. It always helps if your baby is a little milk-drunk when they arrive at the session. That will help us get some lovely sleepy shots. 

I would always recommend visiting the studio within 14 days after your birth. This is when babies are most likely to be more settled and willing to be swaddled. Obviously, put mum first and wait until she is healed and comfortable.
Don’t worry too much about this! I have a variety of blankets, swaddles and props to use during your session. It is always great if you can bring a few sentimental items with you too as they help make the photos extra special! I will do a variety of poses and backdrops to give you lots of choice.
